Windows profiles copied to the server...is that right?

Hi,

Well, I've just set up Samba + goodies to get my Red Hat (lisa) and WinME
(homer) boxes connected and it all seems to be going rather well...except for
one thing.

I'm not even sure if this is supposed to happen but here's the deal. First up,
my smb.conf file...

-------------------------------------------------------------------
[global]
domain logons = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
log file = /var/log/samba.log
logon drive = p:
logon home = \\lisa\%U
netbios name = lisa
os level = 99
preferred master = yes
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
wins support = yes
workgroup = MYHOME

[public]
path = /usr/public
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes

[steve]
comment = "Steve's home"
path = /home/steve
valid users = steve
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no

[oracle]
comment = "Oracle's home"
path = /home/oracle
valid users = oracle
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
----------------------------------------------------------

I have two users set up on the ME box, steve & oracle.

The first time I log in on the ME box as eith user, a whole load of stuff (I
believe is the technical term) is copied across the network to the linux home
directory of the appropriate user (e.g. Directories; Application Data, Desktop,
etc, containing what looks like user configuration data). Some of this is
updated on logout.

The question is, is this supposed to happen? I would prefer that Windows kept
its files to itself unless I explicitly copy them over but, if it really is
necessary, is it possible to direct this stuff to a sub-directory to keep it out
of the way?

If this is not a Samba question, can anyone point me at an appropriate froup.

Any scathing remarks on the content of the smb.conf file would also be
appreciated.

TIA

Steve
